16. Mercenaries, Demon Hunters and "Old Friends"
"Dax has already sent a magic text message to the group of cheap people in the Nine Towers in the communication room on this side of the Black Prison, "The apprentice's random experiment caused the magic crystal to explode, and everything else is normal", and we are also lucky, those jailers have to report to their boss every day when they are on duty, if we are a few minutes at night, then everything is over, you saved us, Brother Lao Cai!"
Old Holm rubbed his hands together and said to Elevenn with a smile that the wrinkles on his old face seemed to have bloomed because of this killing, that this vicious fellow had finally found the thrill of harvesting life when he was young, and more importantly, as a prisoner, they had completed the almost impossible task of getting out of the black prison alive, and if they were lucky enough to escape from Sam City, this matter was destined to become the glory of Old Holm for the rest of his life.

The other three bigwigs also smiled and hugged Ellevin gently, and the barbarian scar slapped his chest even more boldly, and promised Ellevin loudly that as long as he had the opportunity to go to the northern tundra in the future, he would definitely be the friendship of the landlord and invite him to see the most beautiful scenery of the north.
However, Elivan just looked up at the sun in the sky, then looked at a few people playfully, and said softly,
"You may not know yet, as far as I know, the Demon Hunter Tower has a special person responsible for contacting the Black Prison side, changing shifts three times a day, and three communications are indispensable, once there is no timely response here, at least a team of battle mages will set off immediately, that is to say, the magic message just now can only buy you 3-4 hours of safe time at most, and if you want to take out Sam City and even the Gray Plains with such a little time, but it is a very difficult job, everyone, do you have a plan?"
The four bigwigs looked at each other, and planned? What is that? If it weren't for the hitchhiker of Eleven, they would probably still be happily picking up soap in the black prison, besides, who is so familiar with this unfamiliar person that he can make a highly executable plan in less than half an hour?
This situation is also expected by Elivan, in fact, if he did not enter the black prison with a purpose, he would not have been able to come up with a complete plan in such a short period of time, but fortunately he was prepared, so after a moment of silence, Elivan spoke again, this time in addition to the previous kind of victory, there was also a somewhat inexplicable introduction to several people present,
"In case you don't know, the Midsummer Festival is one of the most important celebrations in Sam City, and at this time of year, the docks are full of ships from all over the mainland, and the merchants often select some prepared "sailors" in the slums of the docks in order to keep costs down ,In fact, they are all used as consumables,After all, there will always be some troubles when sailing on the open sea or rivers,Such as pirates,For example, fish-man robbers without wisdom,The worst thing is to encounter patrolling krakens and the like,For example,Those krakens who have been very fierce in the sea of storms recently,At this time, some low-cost consumables are very good.,But since it's consumables.,Naturally, no one pays attention to where they come from.,What preferences they have.,What kind of name.,What kind of past they have.,Tsk tsk,Those people are really miserable. 。 ”
Speaking of this, Elivan glanced at a few people out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of these guys who didn't have too many cities, and the scar that was full of joy and anger was directly punched on his palm, his ugly face was full of joy, and Eleven's hand was just right to wave his hand at a few people,
"If you're lucky enough to escape, why don't you go to Bordeaux in the Duchy of House, it's a good place to spend time, oh, yes, gold-encrusted roses, remember the name, and when you get there, say you're friends of the old guys, and if things go well, we'll meet there again soon! Kindness... It's the will of the gods, and we'll see you next time!"
After saying that, he led the strange-looking donkey into the dark alley on the side, and in a short time his figure disappeared into the darkness under the sun, leaving only a few people in Old Holm to discuss something secretly.
Scar is the most anxious of several people, but this irascible guy is not without brains, from the fact that he was the first to pick up the mud paste in the black prison and say that sentence, if someone treats him as a brute with developed limbs, then he has definitely made a big mistake, and after this guy saw that Elivan really left, he turned around and said to the others,
"Alright, the outsiders are gone, let's talk about our own business. ”
"Hehe, what else is there to say, people have told us the safest way before leaving, Scar, do you still want to break out of your own way?"
A crisp voice sounded between several people, even Elevenn himself didn't know that the two guys who had been covering their whole bodies in black robes turned out to be two women, obviously, these two women who hid themselves used some method to change their body shape and voice, but this fact was known to Old Holm and Scar, they did it just to hide Eleven.
And after "Dax" finished speaking, another black-robed man who had been with her also spoke, and his voice was equally crisp, so in this way, Dax and Cliff are probably not their real names,
"Although we haven't been to Sam City before, I can feel that what the old man said is true, but he is so generous to leave us with the means to escape, what a strange person!"
Old Holm squinted his eyes and played with the two stainless steel daggers he had just arrived, his old voice did not change, but his tone was much more gloomy,
"No, you're all wrong! I can probably guess what that guy is going to do now, that's a crazy idea, but it doesn't have much to do with us, guys, as the old chef said, we're running out of time, everyone get ready, I'll grab a local, and in ten minutes, let's go!"
The other three nodded, and Cliff and Dax turned and walked over to their little brother, while Scar touched his stubble-covered chin, and then called over to the guard, who was standing not far away, and whispered,
"Let the boys all go and make trouble! Don't worry, go and rob and kill! Gather here at midnight tonight, by the way, don't forget to tell them to go out in small teams, and it's better to go to one place alone, so as not to affect the relationship between the brothers because of bad things like money!"
The barbarian guard, who was almost two ends taller than Scar, paused for a moment, and asked angrily,
"Scar Boss, if you let the brothers make trouble now, will it attract the city guards?
Scar glared at the guards, and scolded with hatred,
"Are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really stupid? Are you full of muscles in your head? If they don't make trouble, if they don't make some big things, how can we escape? Remember, don't say anything else, and after that's done, quietly bring a few of your brothers to come to me, don't let others find out, stupid! Go!"
After the guards left, Scar sat cross-legged on the ground alone, his eyes full of sly, and he muttered to himself,
"More than 200 people... Tsk, a little less... But if we all separate... Well, there's enough time!"
On the other side, the two black-robed sisters shouted directly to the little brothers who were looking at them,
"How much blood of our comrades has been shed in this damned black prison? No one can count! Now it's time for us to get our revenge! Grab your knives, grab them, kill them! Snatch their last gold coin! Burn everything you can't take! We've found a way out of the brothers, gather here at midnight tonight, we'll get you out of here, now, let it go! Let Sam City bleed!"
Although there are also unjust, false and wrongful cases from time to time, but on the whole, this group of guys who have been locked up in the first layer of the black prison for several years are basically some extremely vicious people, even if they are good-hearted people, they have been assimilated in a few years, and the resentment of being imprisoned, tortured, and oppressed by the jailers has become more and more intense with time, until this day erupts, all reason will be burned out, coupled with the deliberate lure of this gang of bigwigs, in short, these prisoners who have just got new guys from the jailers and guards will scream and scatter after a while, and sprinkle all the crooked alleys into the body of the pearl of Sam City。
After watching the excited guys with red eyes leaving, the black-robed man with the fake name Cliff seemed a little unbearable, and she whispered,
"Sister, is this really good? For the sake of our lives, let these subordinates who obey us go to death?"
"Dax" turned around when he heard this, stared at her with a look that was so deep that "Cliff" was scared, and then said slowly,
"Little sister, after more than a year of imprisonment, do you still have to hold on to your weak beliefs? Have you forgotten why we were locked up here by those lowly mages? The taste of betrayal will make me unforgettable for the rest of my life, do you want to taste it a second time? These scum should be honored, their sacrifice will preserve our only remaining noble bloodline, don't forget the mission we carry! The crumbs of the kingdom of Arad are going to die, and it is you and me who will end their humble lives, and if I hold on to their lives, then I will have a good chance of dying, and it will all fall on you, now, do you want to choose those sin-ridden crumbs, or do you want to choose me?"
"Cliff"'s body trembled, and in the face of "Dax's" strength, she finally chose to back down, bowed her head and stood aside, and stopped talking.
And "Dax" still pointed in the direction of the scar and motioned to his sister to take a look.
"You see, in this race between life and death, you can't even compare to that mongrel barbarian! Not to mention the treacherous Holm who is the same as the old wolf king, and even the old vegetable who has dominated all this, hehe, I have to say, that mysterious guy is the most cold-blooded dog thing I've ever seen, you may still think that his last words gave us a way to go, but you would never have imagined that the four of us are just delayed cannon fodder in his opinion!"
Hearing this, "Cliff", who was already silent, immediately raised her head, because it was too sudden, causing her hood to tilt a little, revealing the blue hair and the blue tattoo painted on her forehead--- these two sisters definitely don't look like ordinary people, because of that kind of tattoo, but in terms of complexity, it is not something that ordinary forces can get, let alone the faint elemental fluctuations that come from it!
"Mr. Cai?
"Hmph! How is it impossible, probably only you and Scar are relatively shallow, but there is no doubt that Old Holm also thought of this layer, so he decided to set off immediately, don't you see that he doesn't even want the lineage that he has cultivated by himself? What's more, ordinary prisoners don't know much about Lao Cai at all, maybe this time those lowly people won't know that there is a mastermind named Lao Cai behind this riot! Even if we take a step back, there are mages on both sides, but why didn't we help Lao Cai to divide at least half of the enemy's manpower in vain? No matter how he counts it, sister, sister, I don't expect you to reach the level of Lao Cai in your lifetime, but you must at least learn Lao Cai's plan of taking one step and at least three steps, otherwise how can I face Arad's hundreds of thousands of rebellions alone?"
"Hmm..."
The half-elf sister was silent, in her still slightly immature worldview, she really didn't think of so many things, but at this moment, Elivan's figure with a silver mask left a strong mark in her heart, how strong does a person have to be to turn more than 300 vicious criminals into her most powerful assistants in one night, this method is simply a model of turning her hands into clouds and turning her hands into rain, of course, it is also something she will learn in the next short time.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Not to mention the four bigwigs, after Elevenn walked out of the unknown alley, he really saw Pars, who had a black and gray face, bored hiding in the garden of a small villa, it seemed that the family was not there for the time being, otherwise relying on Pars's skills, he would have been discovered by the guards when he clumsily climbed over the railing.
"Ah, Eleven, you're here at last!
When Pars saw Elivan with a silver mask, he immediately turned out of the garden with a smile on his face, and he was still holding two freshly picked red fruits in his hands, looking at his mouth full of scum, this guy must have been hiding there just now to feast, but as soon as Pars ran to Elivan's side, he was lightly punched in the chest by the latter,
"you, old food, old food, do you understand?"
Pars rolled his eyes and threw the fruit to Eleven, and the second to the mouth of the donkey, who was staring at him curiously, and the donkey ate the fruit as soon as he rolled his mouth, and then chewed and shook his ears, ignoring Pars, who was looking at him with the same curiosity.
"Eli... Oh, by the way, old vegetables, old vegetables, you donkey is very strange! I found out last night, it seems... Kindness. Don't laugh at me, I think this guy seems to understand what I'm saying! You know? When I was boiling porridge last night, I was talking about dates, vegetables, and so on, and he went to the kitchen and brought me a whole basket of vegetables, and this happened more than once!! are you listening to me?
Elivan took a small bite of the red fruit and glared at Pars, who closed his mouth stupidly, but the next moment, he began to speak again, but this time what he said slowed Elivan's non-stop pace for a moment,
"Old Cai, do you know? I really found out the big news this time, otherwise I would never have been arrested and put in the black prison so soon, do you know? What happened to you back then, in fact, not only the people of the Shadow Tower were involved, at least there was also the Demon Hunting Tower, anyway, things are more complicated than you said, and later when I wanted to listen to it again, the mercenary with the big mouth was forcibly taken away by the battle mage who fell from the sky, and as a result, the station of our Chamber of Commerce was burned down in the evening of the same day, I suspect that it must have something to do with that incident!"
"Huh?"
Elivan's complexion changed drastically, although instinctively he had regarded all the Nine Towers Council as enemies, but now when he heard that the Demon Hunter Tower was also involved in the conspiracy of the year, the shock still made him uneasy, because he knew that the strength of the Mogding family back then, even with the total strength of the Lagerph family and even the seven alliances, it was enough to face a Shadow Tower, but it was this incident that caused the Demon Hunting Tower to act together, which is a little strange, you know, most of the prestige of the Nine Towers Council was fought by the Demon Hunting Tower, and those battle mages with murderous fighting methods have only one enemy, that is, the defected Nine Towers mages, and the unbridled wild mages and the creatures of the lower realms who are randomly summoned to the real world, but have never heard of them acting on formal mages.
However, when he saw that Pars was about to say more, Elivan stretched out his hand to stop him, first took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then climbed up to the house on the left, and roughly determined the direction, and then took out a cylindrical short stick from the donkey's camel bell, and counted the time silently in his mind.
"Bell!"
The hands on the tallest clock tower in the center of Sam City stopped at nine o'clock, and then the next moment, fireworks rose from the ground, with their own strange sound effects flying in the air, this is the unique celebration of the summer festival in Sam City, usually starting at nine o'clock the day before and continuing until the official start of the summer festival the next day, during which the whole city seems to be surrounded by endless fireworks regardless of the darkness of the day, but today, this fireworks symbolizing joy in the sky are given a different meaning by Eleven。
Watching the first rays of fireworks rise into the air, Elivan held the short stick high with a cold face, and then stretched out his hand and pulled, "whoosh", the dazzling red light pulled the long tail flame into the sky, and then exploded violently at the highest point, forming a red cross-knit "X" shaped pattern, originally this highly symbolic sign should have been discovered by the guards in charge of vigilance when it took off, but on this special day, this red X-shaped pattern is just a very inconspicuous and inconspicuous performance among the hundreds of colorful fireworks in the sky.
But in the eyes of those who care, the meaning is very different.
On the gray plains outside Sam, behind an inconspicuous hill, a dozen wanderers with brass binoculars and staring directly at the sky stood in a row, and behind them, Old Hall also held a pole with a solemn face and attached "Insight of the Owl" and "Pupil of the Falcon" The two telescopes of the famous farsighted spell nervously watched the fireworks in the direction of Sam City keep flying high in the sky, and there was no expression on their faces, until the bright red X appeared in their field of vision, and a dozen wanderers raised their left hands at the same time, signaling that they had received information.
Old Hall excitedly threw the precious enchanted telescope into Khufu's arms, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and shouted loudly in the direction of Sam City,
"Now, strike, take the east gate of Sam City!"
"Yes!"
Behind him, the elite mercenaries turned on their horses one after another, but they and the war horses were additionally draped in a desert-colored camouflage cloth similar to the color of the gray and white plains, which was also a "camouflage" specially customized by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce for this operation At first, Old Hall was very disdainful of this kind of disdain to the same camouflage as an idiot, but three days after entering the Gray Plains, he sent a letter to Bordeaux City against public opinion, strongly recommending that every similar action in the future should be accompanied by this kind of camouflage cloth that looks very unreliable, because the effect is really good beyond his expectations, within the limit of normal people's visual distance, unless the knights can show their horses' feet or are already less than a few hundred meters away from the target, people who see these things for the first time can't react at all, and the remains of the caravan of the Chamber of Commerce under the Nine Towers Council that have been intercepted and killed four times for no reason on the Gray Plains in the past few daysis the best proof of this.
"If we're lucky enough this time, I'm afraid that even if we get to the gates, the guards will really find us! ”
Khufu smiled and rode his tall war horse, joking, but Old Hall shook his head and said in a deep voice,
"Rescuing Pars is just a matter of convenience, but let's not forget our true purpose!"
Khufu's face also turned pale, and he replied in the same deep voice,
"This battle will break the backbone of Sam City!"
After speaking, the two of them put on their camouflage clothes, and rushed out of the back of the hill with a series of horse teams, under the deliberate suppression of this group of skilled knights with bowed horses, the dust brought up by the horses' hooves has never been able to form a large dust wind visible to the naked eye, of course, this is also the result of the old hall their training in the past few days.
On the other side, after Elivan launched the flare into the sky, he climbed down from the house smoothly, wanting to continue to talk to Pars about the topic that had just been interrupted, but as soon as he jumped down, he saw Pars talking to another guy in prison uniform, and Elivan's movement alarmed two people, Pars and the man both turned back, the next moment, Eleven's face changed greatly, and the scorching flames involuntarily appeared under his feet, the fluttering and chaotic flames were like a fire lotus, and the heat forced the two people opposite to take a step back, and the pistol on Elivan's waist also turned into his hand, he said word by word the name that he hated since five years ago,
"Long time no see, dear Hawkes butler! I've been thinking about you for five years!"
